Tasco 119422 instruction manual Setup Mode Shortcut Keys/Functions

automatically (according to its current parameter settings) when it is triggered by the PIR sensor’s detection of activity in the area it covers.

You can either move the power switch directly from OFF to ON mode, or stop at the SETUP position first to change one or more settings, then move the switch to ON after you have finished doing so.

SETUP Mode

In the SETUP mode you can check and change the settings of the Trail Cam with the help of its built-in LCD (or a monitor connected to the AV out jack). These settings, found in the SETUP Menu, let you change the photo or video resolution, interval between photos, switch the time imprint on, etc. Moving the power switch to the SETUP position will turn on the LCD display, and you will see an information screen that shows how many images have been taken, the battery level, camera or video mode, etc (see Fig. 3, next page).

NOTE: Always move the power switch from OFF to SETUP mode. It is possible that the camera could lockup if it is switched from ON to SETUP mode. If this occurs, simply move the switch to OFF and then push it up to SETUP again.

SETUP Mode Shortcut Keys/Functions

As mentioned earlier in “Parts & Controls”, four of the keys below the LCD have secondary, “shortcut” functions when the camera is switched to SETUP mode (but the MENU key has not been pressed):

•Press the UP key to quickly set the camera to shoot video clips.

•Press the DOWN key to quickly set the camera to take still photos.

•Press the RIGHT key to manually trigger the shutter. This is useful for testing the camera-make sure you are in SETUP mode, press the RIGHT key, and a few seconds later a photo or video (depending on how the camera was set) will be saved to the SD card (or internal memory if no card is inserted). The “number of images taken” counter on the bottom left of the LCD will increase by one. If the display indicates “SD PROTECTED” when you press the SHOT key, switch the camera OFF, remove the SD card and slide its protect switch off.

•Press the OK key to replay (review or playback) photos/videos on a connected TV monitor. See “Playing Back Photos/Videos” (pg. 22) for more details.
